AC Milan are back in Champions League action tonight, and face the rather daunting prospect of a game against the current holders Real Madrid.
Milan have found themselves on the periphery of the Serie A title race heading into November and in the elimination places in the new Champions League ‘league phase’. A win tonight would be a tall order but could light a spark, and you can read our pre-match preview for a full breakdown of the contest.
Below are this morning’s front pages in Italy…
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “Devil inside. Champions League, the true Milan needed at Real’s home. Fonseca relaunches Leao in the challenge with Mbappé. ‘You’ll see our ambition.’ Ancelotti: ‘It’s an error to play’.”
Corriere dello Sport: “Milan, derby of the heart. Leao returns to the starting XI: ‘I expect him to be decisive.’ Carlo: ‘Game should not be played after the Valencia tragedy’.”
Tuttosport: “Ancelotti: ‘#ACMilan, we had to postponed it. How can we talk about football with a similar tragedy?’”
